Mayweather Wants To Serve Rest of Jail Time on Mansion Arrest

After just 12 days in jail, Floyd “Money” Mayweather is asking to be let out so he can serve the rest of his time on house mansion arrest.

He pled guilty back in December to domestic battery and no contest to 2 charges of harassment. The charges were filed after he attacked his ex-girlfriend as their 2 kids looked on. He was sentenced to 3 months in jail and entered they system on June 1.

The 35-year-old’s physical conditioning is deteriorating under the stress of being jailed at the Clark County Detention Center, and he is being held in “inhumane conditions,” lawyer Richard Wright said in the motion filed Monday.

Really, being in jail is stressful? What they hell did he think jail was, fun? Don’t worry it gets better, because his lawyer also had this to say in the 35 page filing:

If Mayweather remained in jail, it would threaten his career. He had planned on fighting for at least two more years, according to the motion.

Well, we can’t have that, after all, he is above the law. I can’t think of one good reason why his boxing career should be put in jeopardy just because he beat the crap out of the mother of his children and then allegedly threatened said kids.

Mayweather lawyer Richard Wright said he’d be willing to have the boxer serve the sentence in an apartment or somewhere less luxurious than Mayweather’s posh Las Vegas-area home.

“I’m not looking for special treatment for Floyd Mayweather,” Wright said. “I’m looking for fair treatment.”

Yes you are. Special treatment is EXACTLY what Mayweather is looking for. He’s got millions upon millions of dollars, and like most rich spoiled athletes who get in trouble, he thinks he shouldn’t be held to the same rules that the rest of us follow every day.

Voy estimated the boxer was consuming fewer than 800 calories a day — a drop from his usual 3,000 or 4,000 calories — and wasn’t drinking enough because he isn’t allowed bottled water and doesn’t usually drink tap water.

OH EM GEEE! He has to drink TAP WATER???

EEEEEK! That’s probably going to kill him! I mean, how have the other thousands upon thousands of inmates in that prison survived for so long on…on…TAP WATER!?!?!?!

Seriously, I’m trying hard not to cus right now because this is the Houston Chronicle, but get the BLEEP out of here with this. You have got to be kidding me. I could honestly care less that this guys’ body is having a bad reaction to tap water.

HE COMMITTED A CRIME!

He should be in the same jail, drinking the same water as everyone else. And yes, I’m aware that part of his argument is that he’s held in solitairy confinement because he’s a celebrity. Well, my advice is (I’ll let you pick the one most appropriate):

This is part of being a celebrity. Sometimes it works in your favor, other times it doesn’t. Suck it up and deal with it

DON’T BEAT YOUR EX-GIRLFRIEND!

The CBC.ca article went on to say:

Mayweather has been getting a little more than 30 minutes [of exercise] twice a day in a couple of barren recreation areas in the administrative segregation unit. His cell, no larger than 7-by-12 feet, has barely enough floor space for pushups and situps.

But prosecutors argued he’s “deconditioning” by choice, and declining much of his food.

“He has the ability to exercise, he just chooses not to,” Luzaich said. “It’s jail. Where did he think he was going? The Four Seasons?”

Preach on Luzaich!

“I am concerned about Floyd withdrawing, developing anger he cannot dissipate through the usual means of dedicated exercise and training,” Voy wrote in an affidavit. “Boxing has been Mr. Mayweather’s life since he was a young man and we need champions of this type to continue to their natural retirement and hopefully their contributions to society thereafter.”

Ladies and gentlemen, you have just read the most ridiculous excuse ever submitted on why somebody should be allowed to get out of jail!

“We need champions of this type to continue to their natural retirement”?

No we don’t . What we need is for guys, nay, MEN to not beat women. And if they do then we need them to go to jail and serve their sentence AND SHUT UP ABOUT IT!

The Bottom Line is that this is absolutely ridiculous and if Floyd Mayweather some how manages to use his celebrity status, his money, or both to get out of spending the remainder of his jail time IN JAIL, then we might as well destroy this whole justice system and start over.

AMEN to that, brother! I’m sick and tired of these Atheletes (whom we as a society hold up as role models) who break the law and get away with it, because they have so much money. And it happens in every sport (Bertucci – NHL, Sprewell – NBA, Irvin – NFL, and the list can go on…). It’s a bunch of crap, and these players who are in the spotlight should most definitely be held to the same, if not more stringent, standards as the rest of us. If I had done the same as any of these people, I guarantee that I would not have a job, much less a chance to “retire naturally”.
